To all 1071,0711, 1713 Uta/y (HHLCPV'IL:

Be it known that l, GEORGE JAMns OHAIRE, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Corliss, in the county of Racine and State oflVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in HolderAttachments; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is l a full,clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention has for its object to provide simple economical devicesespecially designed for attachment to the backs of auditorium seats toserve as hat, umbrella or cane, garment, and program holders, but whichare applicable in connection with walls or other sup ports as holdersfor hats, papers or cards, unr brellas or canes, garments, towels, andother articles, said invention consisting in what is hereinafterparticularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawing andsubsequently claimed.

The drawing represents a perspective view of a holder attachment inaccordance with my invention.

Referring by letter to the drawing, A indicates a flat central portion,and B outer bows of a sheet-metal spring-plate that is fastened to theback of an auditorium-seat or other support (not shown) by screws (J,extending through apertures provided in its liat central portion.Integral with the plate and extending downward from the upper edge ofthe flat portion of same midway of the bows B is a suitably-bent maintongue D, and struck out from thistongue is an upwardly-extendingsuitably-bentauxiliary tongue E, both tongues and the ends of said platebeing normally against the support to which the device as a whole isconnected.

in an auditorium each bow B of the attachment may serve as a holder fora cane, umbrella, or garment, the tongue I) as a holder for a hat caughtby the rim between said tongue and adjacent backing and the tongue E asa holder for a program caught between it and said backing. inrestaurants, barberi shops, and elsewhere the attachment may serve, inconnection with its support, as a holder for garments, canes orumbrellas, tow els, hats, cards, papers, or other articles, and it iswithin the scope of my invention to omit either one or both of the bowsor either or both tongues of said attachment. Instead of the sheet-metalspringmlate I may utilize spring-wire of suitable gage in theconstruction of the holder.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. A holder attachable to a suitable support and comprising a bowedwring-tongue member extending outward and downward from the upper edgeof the holder and another springtongue struck upward out of the oneaforesaid, the free ends of the tongues being rearwardly inclined.

2. A holder attachable to a suitable support and consisting of asheet-metal plate having outwardly-bowed end portions, a flat portionbetween the bows, and a bowed spring-tongue extending outward anddownward from the upper edge of the Hat portion of the plate, the freeend of the tongue being rearmirdly inclined.

3. A holder attachable to a suitable support and consisting of asheet-metal plate having outwardly-bowed end portions, a flat portionbetween the bows, a bowed spring-tongue extending outward and downwardfrom the upper edge of the fiat portion of the plate, and an auxiliaryspringtongue struck upward out of the main one, the free ends of thetongues being rearwardly inclined.

in testimony that I. claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, atCorliss, in the county of Racine and State of Wisconsin, in the presenceof two witnesses.
